Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Petersburg, FL

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry. Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

5-Star Thespian Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner. I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines.

While teaching writing at USC, I would use various media, including music and visual stimuli, to encourage students to formulate their own thoughts and opinions on various topics. These might range from philosophical themes to current events. Twice a semester, we would cancel class for a day or two so that I could meet individually with each student to assess his or her progress. The insights gained from these one-on-one sessions were invaluable to me and helped guide me as to what sorts of exercises were most valuable with a particular group of students. I have always been flexible and willing to change what isn't working in favor of a new approach or technique. As a graduate student at the University of Southern California, I taught freshman comp (expository writing) for two years. I very much enjoyed this experience, and later as a legal assistant I presented occasional informal

I am fluent in American Sign Language and have served as an interpreter mainly in religious settings. I taught at the preschool level for 17 years before completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6 with ESOL Endorsement from the University of South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in a south-county school which has allowed me to work with students from all walks of life and abilities. Working at a elementary magnet school for engineering, I have helped to write an elementary engineering curriculum that is standards-based and integrated across the curriculum. I have tutored students in primary math and reading capacities in the last 2 years. I believe that all children can learn but they don’t all learn in the same way. It is important to maintain structure but in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I ascertain that children can make their own connectio

Having been a secondary school educator for so many years, I have observed the changes in trends in teaching as well as in learning. I have adapted my personal views to change with the trends so that I could incorporate novel techniques and personal creativity to enable all students to achieve at least to the height of their abilities. I have learned in corporate computer technogy to maximize efforts to reinforce students' efforts to use available resources to help them learn better and faster at all levels. I prefer inductive teaching rather than imposing lectures. An interactive style enables students to feel they are a part of the process and it personalizes the activities so that a feeling of success is ever present to solidify the foundations upon which to build a substantial knowledge base. I take the students from where they are to where they could be and urge them with positive f

I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential. Being positive and having the right attitude can bring down many barriers that may block one from growing and learning and I make sure that each one of my students can learn the power of this. I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education. Most of my studies are in education, including deaf and special education, psychology, counseling, american sign language, child speech, language development, and theate

Children are the new mark for what is to become and with that belief I feel every single child should be taken into account not just those who seemingly excel. My patience allows for me to access the appropriate pace and learning style for each individual student. How much time spent instructing should be balanced by how much time is spent implementing what has been learned so as to better support their knowledge base. In other words, success lends itself to success and every child or student has the capability to excel in the proper structure and learning environment. My experience in education began at home with my mother who was a master teacher for 37 years in, mostly, Pinellas County as an English teacher. She exemplified what it means to be a civil servant and a mentor to numerous children year after year. From my home childhood into my adult life I have carried these sentiments cl

My teaching style is tailored to each individual student. During our first two sessions, I will be able to determine which teaching methods get the best response. Some students learn kinetically, with lots of motion necessary to avoid boredom, while others must have all their senses stimulated. For each lesson, in order to gauge the response of my student, I include audio/visual for listening skills and oral comprehension, picture identification for level of language skills, singing, repetition for pronunciation and language acquisition, conversation, reading and comprehension, and writing/cloze exercises for production of learning skills. Warning: I give homework! My specialties are reading, writing, and speaking. For over 20 years, I have done performances and workshops on literature, history, and acting in a variety of school and library settings. Most recently, I have expanded my

I have always enjoyed working with children. In college, I was soccer coach and this inspired me to continue working with children. After graduating with a BA in Visual arts, I naturally chose to share my love of culture and creativity with children as an art educator. I taught for one school year at Cimino and Summerfield elementary as a split school teacher. From there, I moved to North Carolina where I became a substitute teacher. This experience exposed me to all subjects, ages, and abilities. Now that I have moved back to Florida, I wish to continue working with children. I have always been able to communicate well with children. Not only has this made my experiences working with children enjoyable, it has helped me learn more about them. I know that they all have different tools to learn with and need the opportunity to use them to their advantage. I have a positive, constructiv
